Who is DDC?

As the City’s primary capital construction project manager, we build and renovate civic facilities New Yorkers use every day. We provide communities with new or renovated structures such as firehouses, libraries, police precincts, courthouses, senior centers, and more. We also build sidewalks, pedestrian ramps, roadways, sewers, and water mains - quality infrastructure essential for a healthy, resilient city. These projects enhance every neighborhood and each borough, ultimately improving the lives of all New Yorkers.

Meet Our Divisions and Special Programs

Borough-Based Jails Program
The Borough-Based Jails Program was established for the design and construction of four modern, smaller, humane borough-based jails. These jails will replace the aging facilities on Rikers Island and allow the City to permanently close Rikers in 2027. Design-Build teams are working to design and construct the new borough-based jails in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. DDC is working with the Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice (MOCJ) and the NYC Department of Correction (DOC) to implement the City's plan.

Project Controls Division
The Project Controls division is dedicated to advancing DDC’s mission of delivering projects on time and on budget. The division provides institutional data analytics service and helps DDC projects adopt best practices in schedule, cost, and risk management. The team is comprised of professionals with experience and knowledge in data analytics, risk, cost, and schedule management. The Project Controls division provides project-level support to individual projects as well as programmatic and advisory support.

Infrastructure Division

The Infrastructure Division is committed to delivering best-in-class infrastructure projects for the City of New York, on time and on budget. A major division objective is the overall coordination of the different project components requested by the various sponsor agencies. This includes all aspects of a project, including sewers (sanitary, storm, and/or combined), water mains (distribution and/or trunk), utility coordination, curbs, sidewalks, traffic signals, lighting, pedestrian ramps, hydrants, catch basins, trees, urban landscaping, plazas, total street reconstructions, resiliency, and flood mitigation.

Public Buildings Division

The Public Buildings (PB) division collaborates with 28 City agencies, architects, and consultants to upgrade, rehabilitate, renovate, and build new public facilities, from the ground-up that New Yorkers use every day. The division includes the Civic and Uniform Structures units (Police, Fire, DCAS, Courts, DEP, Sanitation, Transportation, Tanks, Health, Parks, Human Servies + UPK, ACS, Libraries, and Cultural Institutions), as well as an in-house Architecture and Engineering team which provides a variety of technical services in support of DDC's portfolio. The PB units are divided to mirror the needs of the City agencies that rely on DDC to execute construction throughout the five boroughs of the city.

Safety and Site Support Division

The Safety and Site Support Division is comprised of six sections that provide technical support to the Infrastructure and Public Buildings divisions. Support includes handling hazardous materials, environmental assessment and investigations, environmental permitting, geotechnical services, land surveying services, construction safety compliance, material testing and fabrication services, and prevailing wage compliance. The division offers additional support in the field through field quality and safety audits and inspections of various manufacturing plants.
